The INDIANA DRIVERS MANUAL states a good rule to follow is to stay at least:

  1. One (1) second behind the vehicle ahead

  2. Two (2) seconds behind the vehicle ahead

  3. Three (3) seconds behind the vehicle ahead

  4. Five (5) seconds behind the vehicle ahead

The correct answer is: Two (2) seconds behind the vehicle ahead

The correct answer is B, two (2) seconds behind the vehicle ahead. Maintaining a safe following distance is crucial for safe driving. By staying two seconds behind the vehicle in front of you, you provide yourself with enough time to react to any sudden stops or changes in traffic flow. This ensures both your safety and the safety of other drivers on the road. Following too closely can lead to accidents due to reduced reaction time and increased likelihood of rear-end collisions.
